Chapter 154: Congratulations, my love
"You know what?"
"What?" I asked with a raised brow and I watched as the corners of his lips curved upwards into a smile while amusement danced in his dark brown eyes.
"I should take you somewhere. Get your mind off things and maybe relax a little. I think you need that," he said then there was a slight pause that hung between us before he let the next few words roll off the tip of his tongue. "You deserve it," he added as the smile that was plastered across his face widened.
I didn’t know exactly what I was picturing inside my head but it certainly wasn’t this.
Before I knew it, I found myself sitting at the top of the hill on a soft picnic blanket that he had laid out on the grass. We were sitting under the beautiful night sky, basking in the golden moonlight that shone down on us and letting our eyes wander around as we admired the twinkling stars that decorated the vast sky.
It was like a scene straight out of a romance movie.
I took a sip of the red wine from the glass he handed to me before I let out a breath and relaxed my posture. "This is nice," I muttered under my breath. I turned to look at him as we locked eyes and I let a smile fall on my lips."Thank you, I needed this."
He let a smile fall on his lips. "Anything for you."
Silence stretched between us for what seemed like an eternity as the air crackled with unspoken tension. Without a single warning, he leaned in closer towards me. Our faces were now merely inches away from one another and I could feel his hot breath fanning the nape of my neck as a smile tugged at the corners of my lips.
His hand slowly reached up to cup my face and his fingers brushed the back of my neck, sending a tingling sensation right down my spine as he gently pulled me closer towards him. His eyes flickered down to gaze at my lips and I watched as they fluttered shut. Soon, our lips collided as he pressed a searing kiss on my lips.
Warmth immediately engulfed me as I felt my cheeks turned red and hot while my heart skipped a beat in my chest. His tongue danced across my lips, begging to enter my lips. I parted my lips and kissed him back with equal fervour, my hands finding its way up to the nape of his neck and were quickly tangled in his dark hair.
